fluxzy.core VS RestSharp

To gather network data without relying solely on the browser, we need an intermediary that can monitor the traffic between the browser and the remote server. For the following example, we will be using Fluxzy, an open-source Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) intermediary that can be used as a .NET library. We will use it along with Selenium to extract HTTP Archive (HAR) Files and PCAPNG from any browser or remote devices.

RestSharp

Use RestSharp to create a client library. It requires you to write more code, but it's still a lot less boilerplate than using HttpClient directly.

Let's say we have a simple web app that uses RestSharp, a fairly well-known REST API client library for .NET.

RestSharp:

Are you consuming REST or SOAP web services? For REST APIs you can use https://restsharp.dev/.

Can you not specify the type in the execute call, and see if you can inspect the response? var response = await client.ExecuteAsync(request); I’m on mobile so formatting, but if this is the same client, I just looked at some tests that could suggest this maybe possible https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/blob/dev/test/RestSharp.IntegrationTests/RequestBodyTests.cs

A way to read a rest API. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably play with RestSharp: https://restsharp.dev/

On line 16, we append the endpoint that we are going to connect to. In this example, we hit the “/addresses” endpoint. On line 17, we authenticate to Lob using Basic Authentication. Our Lob API key is placed where the username would be and we leave the password empty. Flurl sets the basic-auth headers using the WithBasicAuth method. For those using RestSharp it looks like this.
